Celebrities, fans and family gathered in a 20,000-seat Los Angeles arena to pay tribute to the late Michael Jackson in a two-hour public memorial.
The biggest surprise and most touching moment came at the end when his 11-year old daughter, Paris, spontaneously clutched the microphone to tell the world how much she loved her father.
Speeches by Brook Shields and Magic Johnson, along with moving performances by Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and Jennifer Hudson, portrayed superstar Michael Jackson not only as a creative genius, but a human being, loving family member and friend.

Most wonderful tribute: Maya Angelou’s poem “We Had Him” read by Queen Latifah.
Next : Smile by Charlie Chaplin, sung by Michael’s brother.
Now, let’s let him Rest in Peace
It is very nice to see a story that is trying to focus on a touching tribute and not all the same old gossip we keep hearing.
